Seed Savers-Lily

It’s definitely not what she had in mind for summer vacation.

When her friends disappear under mysterious circumstances, thirteen-year-old Lily sets out to discover more about the secret organization with which they were involved. Her investigation unearths a disturbing secret from her own past, unsettling her world even more. In the meantime, Lily makes a new friend and falls for a mysterious young man even as she remains unsure about whom she should trust. As her world crashes down around her, Lily struggles to decide what to do next.

Lily is volume two of the Seed Savers series but can easily be read out of order. It is is a suspenseful and reflective book with themes of self-empowerment, trust, acceptance of diversity, gardening, and politics.

Reviews for Seed Savers-Lily

“Book two, Seed Savers-Lily, flowed easily right from the very first page. The language read smoothly, naturally, with beautiful word pictures and a very nice pace. Overall, I thought the artistry was remarkable. I’m eager to read book three.”–Michelle Isenhoff, author of The Mountain Trilogy

“Lily is a delightful read that continues the Seed Savers series. I love how the futuristic world is grounded in reality. The character development keeps progressing over each book. Smith has created an intriguing read that has me on the edge of my seat for each book.”–Kandi J. Wyatt, author of Myth Coast Adventures

“Lily is no longer just a secondary character . . . She is interesting, complex, and extremely likable . . . I’m surprised to say that I liked the second book in the series even more than the first. I’m looking forward to reading book three to see where Smith takes us next.”–Rita Nelson, teacher/librarian

“In Lily, the second book of the Seed Savers series, young people continue to secretly grow vegetables, an illegal act in their world.  They form diverse friendships across ethnic lines as they search for truth behind unanswered questions. Lily encourages readers to bravely work for a better world.”–Joyce Yoder, middle school principal

“Reads well as a stand-alone (I haven’t read the first but will now about Clare and Dante!) This is an action and secret packed adventure story for 5^th to 7^th grade. It is a fast, fun dystopian with a refreshing focus on gardens and seeds. Because of its length and pacing, it would make a great class read-aloud.”–Joanna Marple, Miss Marple’s Musings
